Well, seems that the new iOS 5 features a cute little bug that allows a way to carrier unlock the AT&T version of the iPhone 4S, iPhone 4 and iPhone 3GS without the need to jailbreak or damage any hardware pieces. This trick will allow you to use your iOS device on the T-Mobile network with Edge speeds, event though in the US this is still a popular avenue for a lot of the iPhone users.

A new threat for Android devices has been recently found in wild. Until now, the Android Trojan has only been downloaded from Chinese App markets, being “grafted” on to legitimate applications, mainly games.

This Trojan, also called “Geinimi” can do some great damage on your Android. For example, it can compromise a significant amount of personal data on a user’s phone and send it to remote servers. Once installed, this Android malware can receive commands from a remote server that allow the owner of that server to control your phone.

It might scare you a little but if you are cautious and pay attention, nothing will happen to your Android device.

Let’s talk a little about how it works. Well, the Geinimi Trojan runs in the backgrounds, collects different kinds of information and it will:– Send location coordinates (fine location)– Send device identifiers (IMEI and IMSI)– Download and prompt the user to install an app– Prompt the user to uninstall an app– Enumerate and send a list of installed apps to the server

After it collects these precious information, five minutes later, it will try to connect to a remote server using one of these domain names:– widifu . com– udaore . com– frijd . com– islpast . com– piajesj . com

So, do not go on these domain names, i’m sure you don’t want your Android device to get “sick”.

The Geinimi Trojan was reported on the Chinese app stores in games like Monkey Jump 2, Sex Positions, President vs. Aliens, City Defense and Baseball Superstars 2010. The official Google Android Market have not been affected.

What do you have to do to stay protected:

– download apps only from trusted sources and try to look at the developer name and reviews
– check the permissions an app requests
– if you notice any unusual behavior on your Android device, this could be a sign that your phone is infected. For example: “unknown applications being installed without your knowledge, SMS messages being automatically sent to unknown recipients, or phone calls automatically being placed without you initiating them.”

In this article you can see the most popular secret codes for your Android device. You can add codes to get a firmware version, to launch various Factory Tests, connections test and more.

– *#*#7594#*#* – change the function of End Call/ Power button action in your phone.

– *#*#7780#*#* – the code represents the factory data reset. It will remove the following things: google account settings stored in your phone, system and application data and settings, downloaded applications, and it will not remove the curent system software, bundled applications and SD card files (photos, music files, etc.)

Note: Please be careful as it’s not always possible to undo the effects of a code (e.g. factory reset).

– *#*#34971539#*#* – if you enter this code can get information about phone camera (update camera firmware in image, update camera firmware in SD card, get camera firmware version, get firmware update count).

Yes, is true, now you can watch your hamster running on the wheel and in the same time charge your phone.

This idea belongs to Peter Ash and was promoted on his GCSE coursework. But how this idea was born?

Well, all started in 2005 when his sister had a hamster named Elvis. She started to complain about how energetic Elvis was, she couldn’t sleep at night because he wouldn’t stop playing in his wheel. So, Peter thought to use that energy in a constructive way and created a “Hamster phone charger” using a turbine and a few gears. Now both Elvis and Peter are happy, but i don’t know what to say about Peter’s sister.
